Ode to Yukiko | Michael T. Miyoshi

She was the dog who loved my children
She was the dog who loved my wife
She was the dog who loved us unconditionally
Every day of her life

They say all dogs go to heaven
I really hope it’s so
For I hope to see all of man’s best friends
Especially, Yukiko

Yukiko
January 1, 2002 to March 10, 2018

Without our little dog around
I do not know how life will be
Which is why I hope in heaven
To find our little Yuki

But whether dogs go to heaven
I really do not know
But I know that here on earth
God’s love they do show

For who of all our many friends
Can love us when we’re down
Who can always make us smile
When we have a frown

Who knows our every mood
Loves us even when we’re late
Who sees our faults and failures
Loves us in whatever state

Only God above and people’s dogs
Love unconditionally
They wait for us so patiently
To just come home and be

I hope dogs go to heaven
Yes, I really hope it’s so
Because I want to see God’s friends again
Especially, Yukiko
